Take for example the "Jazz Festival", one of New Orleans most iconic, biggest events.

Did you know that the City of New Orleans has nothing to do with the Jazz Fest!?! Entirely created, owned, run for decades by New Yorkers!

New Orleans could be Great, but it sucks (comparatively) and will die if not intervened. I wish Landry, or a group of Baws, would invade with an all out fricking Coup.

Make New Orleans Great Again!

New Orleans declared war on the state indicting the sitting attorney general on made up charges just to be petty. Colossal mistake. FAFO.

That is doing exactly what I said they do there, blame Republicans for New Orleans problems. Remember when they said Bush flooded New Orleans? Yeah.


Couldn’t be further from the truth. And who ever said bush flooded New Orleans? Lol
Democrats have hurt New Orleans and many cities nationwide.

That said, I see a difference in leadership today. Moreno wants to be accountable. Latoya was probably the worst mayor the city ever had and that’s saying a lot. Moreno is trying to clean up the mess.

Take your partisan glasses off though and see the landscape as a whole and ask if Louisiana is better off with a thriving New Orleans or with a languishing New Orleans.

The answer is clear-The state is better off with New Orleans shining and cooperation with the state is important in bringing that about. The reason Little Landry tries to diminish new orleans importance is because little Landry is insecure and worried that Moreno will outshine him. He’s on an ego trip.

You think little Landry is conservative but when given a chance to show it, he fumbled. He’s cozy with the plaintiff attorneys and they’re a big reason for our struggles as a state.

FYI, it's absurd that the state needed to help the city in this way. It is one CLEAR example of the failure of your city.


The so called economic engine of the state.

In fact, it is,
,in many ways, the economic engine of the state.

The port and tourism, by themselves generate huge economic benefits for state government and other parish economies.

As a result, the Calcasieu Ship Channel supported $42.7 billion in economic value within Louisiana in 2024. About 11.3% of the state’s GDP. New Orleans Port District in 2024 - $31.5 billion in Louisiana economic value



I’ve been trying to tell her that the only thing the state needs down there is the port. NOLA doesn’t have to exist for the port to function.

It was created by George Wein, who was hired by local business an civic leaders to put a festival together. It is owned by New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation, a non-profit based and run by New Orleanians in NOLA. It is produced by Quint Davis, a New Orleanian who has been involved in producing Jazz Fest since day one.
Jazz Fest is not my thing, but it is all NOLA.

Two things can be true: New Orleans is a shell of its former self, and Landry should be trying to work with Moreno to fix it.

The fighting won’t help anything.


New Orleans should work with Landry to fix it. Instead, they want to play their usual snotty NOLA leftist commie politics and think they run the show. Everyone is tired of New Orleans and the decades of dysfunction and corruption. frick them.

Once it achieved that (mid-2010s), COVID came along and erased almost all of those gains.


And NOLA did that to itself with it's leftist politicized draconian COVID lockdowns and mandates that all the commies there were so proud of.

Nola tourism is still very strong so I don’t know what you are talking about.

How? Landry refuses to meet with the mayor. He just wants to talk shite from afar.

Ready to finally say the words “I was wrong”?

I find it weird how you simply refuse to admit you are wrong about literally anything.




I bet you don’t respond

I’m confused. Are you suggesting that every election needs to have a pre-election election to ensure voters want the office to exist?


No, it's a rebuttal to the implication from your stance that because the election happened, the position's continued existence was the will of the voters.

Only 21% of registered voters in Orleans parish bothered to even vote for the election. An argument could be made the majority of voters don't really care about it.

quote:

For clarity, do you see no ethical or governance concerns with the State sponsoring an election, certifying the results, then immediately passing legislation that nullifies the practical effect of that election?


I do, I think the method in which they did this was ham-fisted. BUT... it was completely legal and doing anything other than trying to elect those who would push to reinstate the position is to just spit into the wind.
